a soft spot for Ajax
I heard from a copper yesterday that some scumbag kids went into Asda causing grief and when a staff member refused to serve them more than 3 of the same item they spat in her face.

Seriously what the feck is wrong with these “people”?
Uneducated cnuts who's parents probably fall in to the same category.

I'm better than Messi (even though I'm not)
I do and it's a pretty common symptom for sinus infections or general non allergic rhinitis. My wife says i look like a neanderthal when i get them as my brows and everything swell, don't know if that's common mind you :lol:
Yeah it’s a weird one, had my eyes checked twice in last two years and all good there. Gotta tell my doc about these sinus problems once this virus blows over, sooner rather than later hopefully.

Is GAME open? They were one of the last few places open before the lockdown. Mike Ashley owns them, so he’d probably say games are essentials too.
The stores are closed but still operating online.

I don't know what the british people think but looking from the outside, Boris and the government over there are doing a hell of a good job during this crisis.

They seem to be taking the right steps now, fair play to them..

Nonchalantly scoring the winner...
1) Read my post properly 2) What does having children got to do with anything?

I'm a PE teacher and as a department, we have put provisions in place which enables CHILDREN (yes, those under 16) to exercise everyday at home.
I did read it - it's utter rubbish.

You can't give kids proper exercise in what for many people will be a small flat. Get real.

Surprised a supposed PE teacher would come out with such garbage.

My wit's end
It's going to be 16 degree and sunny tomorrow. One of the first nice days in ages.

After the autumn and winter we've had, it would have been nice.

Is there an updated version of the table showing Italy, UK and Spain deaths off set? I've not seen it the last couple of days (although I have been avoiding the thread a bit), I think the UK is falling behind Italy now, no?

As well from outside
From deaths graphs, UK is the second worse country in the world in projection

Nobody knows how this nightmare will play out but the UK is really taking forceful measures, giving this virus the severity it demands.

Really? At very best their response so far has been marked by confused messaging. There is also the issue of them having seemed to diverge from WHO recommendations at various points, particularly in terms of their approach to testing/tracing.

If I was in the UK I would be glad to see the increased measures now but I wouldn't have been at all impressed with how the government has handled the crisis prior to, say, the last week or so. I certainly wouldn't be rushing to praise them just yet.

Have you ever had children...?

Seriously, many (all?) children NEED to exercise everyday. Even if they're just gonna have a run around.

I'm talking kids under 16 here.



Thank you mate, much appreciated.
Most kids will be bouncing off the walls if they don’t get exercise time.

I thought Boris was fine tonight. Can you imagine the pressure he's under right now? He had Brexit to deal with, and now this. Nearly all the government and scientists etc have done really well so far imo.
Same here. Labour's Alan Johnson and Shami Chakrabarti were just on Newsnight basically refraining from point-scoring and supporting the government's instructions, which is the responsible thing to do right now.

Those that see it all as proof Brexit was right or that it was wrong or that everybody is an idiot (except themselves obviously) can feck right off for me.

Takeaways:
Men are more prone to getting the disease than women
~75% of the positive tests in this dataset have been on people over the age of 50.
No one under 30 had died
25% had severe symptoms and 5% critical
So in other words it's what we know, Italy's death rate is being heavily skewed because mild/asymptomatic younger people are not getting tested

Being rude and nosy... How much are you worth then?

I'm guessing you own your own home, payed off fully, and maybe £400 grand in the bank?
Erm a "few" homes without mortgage and as I took out a bunch of money to buy another from the stock market about 4 weeks ago then the sale fell through so significantly more than that in the bank right now

Sure there's lots of people better off than me but I'm pretty comfortable / happy and still save a lot more than I spend

I am only comparing to where I am at the moment, why I was asking what the british thought.
